AN INFRINGEMENT.

A man who had gone to Kentucky village and who had become involved in a quarrel which resulted in shoot ing affair, was called on by number of citizens.
 "We have come," said the spokes- man, "to see you about the shootin' O Dan Potts."
 "Gentlemen," the stranger ner- vously replied, "when you become acquainted with all the circumstances l am sure you cannot blame me for killing him."
 "We don't keer nothin' erbout the circumstances" said the spokesman, as he discharged generous squirt of tobacco spit upon tbe strangers va- lise.
 "But, great Cesar. you certainly do not intend to pass snap judgment upon me, do you?"
 "You killed him, didn't you?"
 "Yes."
 "Wall, that's enough"
 "It's not enough, for he ought to have been killed"
 "That may be, but we don't want strangers to come in here and kill our people. Men air gittin' scarcer all the time, an we ain't got no more than we want to kill ourselves, an thee idee O stranger, without let ter or nothin', comin' in here an pop pin' our fellers over is all nonsense. Ii you wanted to kill him why didn't you tell some of the boys?"
 'I didn't think of it."
 "But you oughter done it. A we'll bred gentleman always thinks O their little social courtesies. I sorter had it in fur him myself, an you have not only cheated me, but have made the other fellers feel low spirited. think that rope an tree is the best things fur you, an it's about time this states rights question was settled, anyway. This thing O feller comin' round an interferin' with the rights O a state is played bodatiously out"
 "My friends" said the clear headed stranger, "1 now understand you, and frankly admit that I did wrong, but there is another thing which you must take into consideration, and that is the fact that the deceased was pre- pairing to leave the community so you see you would have been cheated alter all."
 "Since you've mentioned it." re- piled the spokesman, q bleve I did hear suthin' erbout that. Fellers, reckon we'd better pull of. Stranger, wush you'd be sorter keerful after this. You mout drap a man that don't intend to move away. Good day to you."

"My dear friead," said man, sd- dressing an acquaintance, "why don't you do something with your son?"
 "aWhat's the matter with him?"
 "Why, ! noticed that while he was playing with several little fellows he robbed them of all their marbles"
 "That's all right"

A NEW CHURCH.

A United States official, while rid ing through the roads bordering the eastern edge of the Indian Territory, came upon long haired man sitting on log.
 "Good morning, sir" said the off cial.
 "Hi."
 "Do you live about here?"
 "Just about live here"
 "You haven't any Indian blood in your veins?"
 "Not that ever seed"
 "Then why do you live on this res ervation. Who gave you the right?" '1 married squaw."
 "Oh."
 "That's what 1 say"
 What business are you in?"
 "None, now"
 What business were you in?" "Preachin'."
 "Why, did you stop?"

 "Why 1 never before heard of such an outrageous affair. Tell me about it."
 "Wall, 1 built my church over on the branch, an this feller Alb Smith built his'n on the knob. We started revivals about the same time, an' he had the edge on me, an knowin' that cnrnnt hfnfr hoA tn ha 1sI r1s %hoA quick, commenced to tell lot O yarns that knowed would interest the young bucks an captured the crowd. Smith he come down an tried to get lem away. an at last, findin' that he couldn't do it, he slipped around one night and put powder under the house and blowed it up."
 "You were of different denomina- tions, I suppose"
 "Of what?"
 "1 say that you were of different churches"
 "Yes, I wuz O my church an he wuz O his'n."
 "But of what denomination, what creed?"
 "Blamed if I know"
 "Well, but what do you believer" "Believe that it won't be healthy fur Alb Smith if ketch him round here."
 "You don't understand. What is your faith?"

LIMNINGS.

Man (to literary woman of Chicago) -"Are you reading the Thackeray letters?"
 Woman-"Oh, I glance at them oc- casionally, but don't you know that take very little interest in current gossip but after all, I suppose the newspapers must fill up with some- thing. If they didn't put in Thacke- rays letters about base ball and such they would have to put in something else or leave the space blank"
 MT. Blaine, whatever other qualities may be denied him, certainly possesses the faculty of stirring up discord wherever he may go. He has created schisms among the Scotch Irish and English, with regard to himself, and the instinctive desire to harmonize these factions, may delay the great mans return home. He does not seem to know that he has reached that stage where, to render himself thoroughly agreeable, he must leave the United Kingdom. As the United Kingdom would be difficult to carry away, it is possible that he may leave it.

High BalIooning for Science.

Mons. W. de Fonvielle, an exper-
fenced French aeronaut, claims that
balloons can be made very serviceable
to astronomical science, and indeed, he
was the first to advocate their use for
observations. He believes that under
skillful management observers can be
safely carried above any obscuring
veil of clouds, but sufficient time must
be given to the necessary preparations
and the balloon must be capable
OF carrying a large amount of
ballast. 1t seems to be certain that
photographs taken so far above the
lower strata of the atmosphere would
have much better chance of success
than those taken on the surface of the
earth. The total eclipse of the moon,
which will take place in January next,
will afford an opportunity, of which
many will doubtless take advantage,
of testing the value of balloon obser-
vation.
An attempt has lately been made at
Paris by nj. M. Jovis and Mallet to rise
to greater hight in the atmosphere
by means of balloon than has ever
yet been done. The aeronauts took
with them number of instruments for
the purpose of making observations,
and among these were a barometer
to measure nights of upwards of 3O,-
600 feet, and thermometer which
would record temperatures so degrees
below zero. A new feature was re-
presented by the provision of bags of
oxygen, for purpose of inhalation by
the aeronauts after attaining high ele-
vations. 1t will be remembered that
in 1862 MesSrs. Glaisher and Coxwell
assembled from Wolverhampton for the
purpose of making scientific observa-
tions from a balloon, and that they
reached the extraordinary altitude of
seven miles above the earth. On this
occasion both the occupants of the car
suffered very much, Mr.. Glaisher be-
coming quite insensible for a time.
A similar experience seems to have
been the lot of these French experiment.
ers, one of them having tainted twice
upon reaching the altitude of some 90
600 feet, the faintness being speedily
mitigated after the inhalation of the
oxygen provided. The ascent was
successful, but the hight reached was
far below that attained by Mr.. Glaisher
and his companion, as already record

Her Special Butter Dish,

A young lady told me of a scientific
experiment she has been trying. Her
clearinghouse is very fashionable
and exclusive and excellent one, but
of late the pcrversities of the butter
has way of being perverse, and this
usually in August, when it should be
the best, just as children are very
likely to appear at their very worst
when they should behave the best.
Now, some one had told this Young
lady that if cream were buried in the
earth for twenty-four hours it would
then be found to have become butter
of a superior quality and flavor. She
longed to test the truth of this state
ment, and, confessing her ambition to
Mrs. Daniel Merriman, she was made
a present of bag of cream from the
Bigelow farm. She told noe, with the
minuteness Indispensable to the de-
scription of scientific procedures, that
the bag was of white cloth, OF strong
and firm material, and that the cream,
of course, being from the Bigelow
farm, was of lovely richness, of the
sort usually described as being 'thick
enough to cut with a knife" She
made the excavation in the ground, of
the necessary size, and deposited her
cream and covered it up. After twen-
ty-four hours she unearthed it and it
was ball of golden, hard, delicious
butter, wanting only salt to make it
perfect, and this she added with her
own fair hands. There were no traces
of buttermilk; it had all been absorbed
through the pores of the cloth into the
earth. 1t is improbable that the young
lady will go on making butter after
this manner, but her method may in
dicate that there is shortly to be a
revolution in the art of butter-making.
The new way has to recommend it a
great saving of labor, and, one would
say, of care as well. In these wonder
full days it is impossible to prophesy
what great and momentous results
may come from such a happening as
this.-B0StOB Herald.

A Marine Catalogue.

Turks heads and cats faces were
probably once carved on the beam
ends. The purchase by which the an
chor ring is hoisted is the ''cat," or the
"cheat" (capon). This word ''cat" is
a familiar one on board ship, and fur
ther illustrates the beast nomenclature
therein found. The cat is a broad
beamed sailboat with no iib, a Nor
wegian vessel, and a well-known in

harpings" are a part of the top-mast
rigging; the "catholes" are apertures
Through which the "stern-fasts" are
led; the ''cat-rack" (katt-spurn) an
other name for the 'mast-step;" ''cat-
lap is weak tea, a ''cat-nap," short
one, a ''cats-paw," a mere ruffie upon
the surface, leaving ''cat-skin," ana
is also kink in rope. The name
"cat-hole" (trou de chaD is applied by
French sailors to the lubbers' hole
(boco de lobo, or seals mouth, say the
Spanish), which is aptly called ''sol-
diers' passage" (soldatenga) by Ger

An Economist.

Economy is the road to wealth."
remarked drummer at the Mansion
house supper-table last evening, ''but
the fellow | met at Olean is taking big
chances in his efforts to save money.
The hotel was crowded and we had to
double up, two in bed. He slept
with me, and just before we got to bed
commenced swearing about his back.
Whats the matter with your back? |
asked him, and he told me he had a
belladonna plaster stuck fast there and
couldn't get it off. 1t seems that a
doctor ordered it on his chest for one
day, and when he took it off he hated
to throw away the % cents it cost.
So he clapped it on his back, and now
it's stuck so fast he can't get it off"
''Serve him right" said the cloth
drummer at the head of the table; ''if
that man was on the road | suppose
he'd make more money out of his ex-
pense account than his salary amounted
to. o."-BufaLo Courier.

Missouri Snake Story.

News of a remarkable snake comes
from Southwes Missouri. 1t was
discovered by two drovers, who de-
scribe it as yellow and spotted and
''coiled into lump the size of bush
ell basket" Its head was raised, and
a long, forked tongue rapidly shot
forth, while its tail. in air, rapidly vi
brated, giving forth an ominous buzz
from more than twenty rattles. They
began at a given signal to rain heavy
blows upon the snake, which rolled up
into twice its original bulk, writhing
and twisting under the stinging blows.
1t was killed and found to be nearly
ten feet in length. Along its back was
a sharp ridge, bearing long hairs like
a hogs bristles, strung at short inter.
vais along the entire length OF the
SNAKE.

Intelligence from all parts of Kent
county, England, confirms the fear
that incalculable damage to hops has
been done by the recent gales Some
sheltered plantations will probably
come out fairly well, but at the lowest
estimate the quantity of the crop in
the county has been reduced by at
least oue-fourth, and it remains to be
seen, though it is known to be serious,
to what extent the battering to which.
the hops remaining upon the poles
have been subjected will ultimately
affect them. 1t is now more than ever
certain that coloring samples will be
exceptionally scarce, and already
prices have distinct upward ten

Dream sweet! For the west wind is calling

Still watching and guarding you now as you
